Building Up the Church: Live Experiments in Faith, Hope, and Love, the companion volume to Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove's book, New Monasticism: What It Has to Say to Today's Church (2008), is a practical study guide to invite the church to imagine that "e;another ways is possible"e; as it lives into its identity as "e;God's peculiar people"e; (Titus 2:14). Its stories, reflection questions, and suggested exercises are designed to catalyze local churches and Christian communities into becoming "e;laboratories for the gospel kingdom"e;--that is, communities that serve the living God and their neighbors by carrying out experiments in faith, hope, and love.
